I'm looking to resurface my rotors and get my pads changed for a moderately decent price. Anyone know a good place?

Firestone does resurfacing for $160 for all 4.

I assume this is dropped off (brought in by customer), if so we are cheaper than that ;-)

*we do measure and make sure you have room to cut the rotor though, if not...we won't turn them

Yes but very few people do it and it's not cheap. Really only worth it if you're running nice rotors... like DBA and what not.

any competent auto machine shop can turn rotors. just make sure they do it w/in rec'd specs. you should be able to get all 4 done for 1/2 of what you got quoted from Firestone, esp if ur bringing loose rotors (off car)

Is that including new pads and installation?

If not that's ridiculous. You should be able to get your rotors turned for under $60 with no problems.

Just buy your own brake lathe & do it yourself.
